The Peach Truck will once again be making its annual stop in Owensboro, though this year will look different due to COVID-19.

Some changes since COVID-19:
- They are moving exclusively to pre-orders for tour locations to eliminate hand-to-hand contact.
- They established safe and efficient product hand-off protocols to ensure you receive your peaches without coming into contact with one of a team.
- They will take advantage of outdoor space and operate under social distancing guidelines.
Founder Steven Rose spent his high school years in Owensboro but grew up in Georgia. In 2010 he moved to Nashville but was disappointed that he couldn’t find the flavorful peaches he grew up loving in the Peach State.
In 2012, he decided to do something about it.
With his wife Jessica, he bought a ‘64 Jeep truck and started selling Georgia peaches out of it.
In just a little more than a month, patrons bought more than 10 tons of peaches and the two were in business.
